Description
German arts during the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) blossomed with many significant visual, musical, and film artists creating ground-breaking innovations. Inspired by the paintings and sculptures in Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910-1945, this lecture by Museum Director Andrew Connors introduces music and performing arts extending through the end of World War II. This was a period of complete upheaval characterized by promotion of new ideologies and suppression of much that came before.
